I go as far as to have a pair of Foggles handy. Initially I used them quite often just to remind me to keep my focus. Because that’s the way I trained it felt most comfortable. I still don’t have a lot of time in actual IMC so it always makes me a little nervous. I’m hoping that I will get more comfortable over time.
Love it man!!! I grew up in Fort Wayne, IN. My grandfather had a Super Viking that i grew up in. 1275R is based In TX, and should hopefully one day be mine. Great seeing good family time!!!
Great video and plane :). Surprising low number of views/clicks. Maybe you should concider more dramatic headlines -ref Niko´s Wings etc ;) Thinking a little bit about buying a Bellanca SV. Is it hard for manage for a beginner? All the best- Western Norway
Norway, that's awesome! Land of my forefathers. I try not to lead people on or be click bait. We could easily try to spice it up a bit though. Thanks for watching!
One of the things I do is wait until I’m completely out of possible runway to raise the gear. That is due to the way I was taught. Perhaps I should be reevaluating the order in which I do this. What is the reasoning for doing gear first?
@@wyflyguy114 raising flaps you lose a little lift and nose tends to rise up a bit. Retired USAF pilot and lots of light aircraft time as well. Always configured in that order on takeoff. Just watch your airspeed prior to retracting flaps. Should be something in aircraft handbook and I am sure others will chime in as well. Fly safe. And watching your son in right seat during takeoff. Head down on his tablet. Second set of eyes during critical phase of flight always good. 👍
dad is talking to kid as though he is the co-pilot (fantastic)... meanwhile kid couldn't care less, too busy playing a game on his device. The next generation prefers fantasy to real life. So many father figures, bosses, and even men in leadership positions put up with this kind of behavior. Unbelievable.
That’s not really a fair assessment of what is going on here. You realize that he comes with me frequently on long cross country trips of many hours so this isn’t really a.big deal for him like it may have been when it was the first couple times. He also flew with me during my training.
@@wyflyguy114 understood. I realize that this is totally normal behavior in any setting, now days in America. My perspective is that its disrespectful and reflects the values of our society at large and not isolated to you. I understand that may sound abrasive or disrespectful, but It is just a different prospective, of bygone traditional values and respect given regardless of the situation. Best wishes.
@@A1soldiersaint If you put too much pressure on a kid to be responsible for all the bad stuff that can happen before they are old enough, they start to think of flying as stressful and they won't want to do it later. So it depends what you are trying to accomplish. If you want them to love flying, can't bust on them too much for being kids while they are still kids.
@@kwittnebel I had no idea my comment about this would upset so many snow flakes. When my dad speaks, he has my full attention. When a babbling and senile elderly person speaks to me, they have my respect and attention regardless. Expecting a young man to listen is not pressure, its parenting 101. Other peoples children LOL. edit... everything is too hard for gen Z'ers LOL, particularly respect, responsibility, obedience, attention to detail, building relationships, and WORK. I stand corrected.
@@A1soldiersaint if calling people names on youtube seems like functional behavior or any way to get your point across, maybe switch to decaf. The only person here who appears to be upset is you.
You verbalize like I do prior to entering IMC, I say “on instruments”, a great way to shift your focus!

You will get used to it over time...

Great work~!!! Very nicely edited. From a fellow Super Vike driver who’s always wanted to strap a camera to his wing~~ thank you!!! Jeff N8870V
Gorgeous wing shots.
Thanks!
Nice dad! Explaining everything ...
Thanks!
Great videos! the editing and sound is really good!
Thanks. Its always nice to receive feedback!
Great video
Glad you came along for the flight!
I hope you were on an IFR flight Plan with a clearance prior to departure.
Of course I was.
I recently purchased a 1973 BSV did you install the shoulder harnesses or did Gus come with them installed?
They were already installed however when the new interior is done it will have a four-point harness for the pilot and copilot
@@wyflyguy114did you have the guys in Washington OK do the harness mod?? I’m in ok at KHSD and HAVE to get shoulder harnesses added!!!

Its not as easy as Cessna 172 but wouldn’t be impossible for a low time pilot with the assistance of an good instructor.
Why the flaps up prior to gear up? Good move waiting for wx to improve to your personal minimums.
